Aurora

The Northern Lights (also Aurora Borealis) are as mysterious as they are beautiful. They move like a cloud snake in the sky. The sight is a must for any person staying in Alta during the winter.

Hunting

At the Alta Skifer a guide will introduce the unique Northern Lights history of Alta, and give a presentation about the phenomenon of the magical Northern Lights. As it is placed high up in the mountainside, they have a wonderful view of the Northern Lights, the stars and the town can be seen in the horizon.

Dog tours

Daily tours are available, the time depends on the month and it is not guaranteed that you'll see the lights on your first trip. Most tours include food, drink and transport and warm clothing is essential in the cold northern winder.
